This example has many of the add-in options for the GT the sport steering wheel (255), alarm (302), green window stripe (354), rear vent windows (362), sunroof (401), velour floor mats (423), warning triangle (428), seat heaters (494), rear headrests (498), air conditioning (530), on-board computer (554), and Hifi and compact disc player (670,672 and 676). This limited version, which was built for the European market only, had more power, was slightly lighter, partly through the application of aluminium doors, and was available in one colour only, British Racing Green. With only 356 examples built, the M3 GT E36 can rightly be called a rare car. They’re a very special and rarely seen variant of the E36 M3, and increasingly in this collector market that means a higher asking price: CLICK FOR DETAILS: 1995 BMW M3 GT on eBay All were painted 312 British Racing Green and featured Mexico Green Nappa leather interior with Alcantara bolsters, special Motorsports badging and carbon fiber trim. Harder to spot were the aluminum doors the car wore to help keep weight down. Outside new spoilers front and rear increased downforce, and like the Lightweight the GT wore the M forged double spoke staggered wheels. They also had stiffened and lowered suspension, a strut brace and a 3.23 final drive. The motor was turned up to 295 horsepower with hotter cams, special oil pumps and Motorsport oil pan and revised computer controls. Intended to homologate racing bits and aerodynamic tweaks for the E36, 350 limited BF99 examples were produced in early 1995. One of the potent additions to the lineup was that of the M3 GT.
While you’re no doubt familiar with the great lament of the de-tuned E36 M3 and the inflated price of the very limited Lightweight model, Europe enjoyed a full spectrum of Motorsport performance.
